INDIAN INSTITUTES OF PUBLIC HEALTH (IIPHs)

Launched by Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), Indian Institute of Public Health Gandhinagar (IIPHG) aims to strengthen the overall health system in the country through education, training, research, and advocacy/policy initiatives.

The Indian Institute of Public Health-Delhi (IIPH-Delhi) commenced its operations in November 2008 with the launch of the Post Graduate Diploma in Health Economics, Health Care Financing and Health Policy Program targeted at mid-career health professionals.

Under the aegis of the Public Health Foundation of India, the Indian Institute of Public Health-Hyderabad (IIPH-Hyderabad) commenced its activities on July 1, 2008, with a mission to deliver public health education and training, pursue research and advocacy and support policy development, as aligned to the public health priorities of the state and the nation.

IIPHB was established in Odisha as to act as a regional hub of public health education and research for the Eastern region of the country. The Institute started functioning from 2nd August, 2010, and the first batch of PGDPHM participants joined the programme from August.

The IIPH Shillong in the state of Meghalaya is commencing its operations from 2015 as the fifth institute of the IIPH network. PHFI has established a network of regional Indian Institutes of Public Health (IIPHs) across the country.

Institutions have a catalytic role to play and can bring a transformational change. We need to think scientifically about public health. Along with medical doctors, we need to develop in parallel the health management faculty so that we build health systems and institutions that can address problems effectively.
